Today,upon a bus
I saw a girl with golden hair. And wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch,
But at she passed, a smile.
Ya Allah forgive me when I whine,
I have two legs and the world is mine.
I stopped to buy some candy,
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked, with him he seemed so glad,
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me;
"I thank you, u've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like u,
You see." He said. "I'am blind."
Ya Allah forgive me when I whine,
I have to eyes and the world is mine.
Later while a walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play,
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said;
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without the word.
Ya Allah forgive me when i whine,
I have two ears and the world is mine.
With feet to take where I'd go,
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know,
Ya Allah forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed the world is mine.
